Great post, a good recap on the fundamentals. One of the most common things i see in a novice indoor grow, is poor light placement. Im sure youve seen it or have had it yourself maybe in your earlier grows.. poorly rigged up systems, poor hoods, cheap bulbs, no reflective material in the room.
For vertical hoods, i would recommend a double parabolic shaped with a dull white, aluminum or hammered finish. this evenly spreads light in a concentrated area and doesn't create too many hot spots. folds in hoods create hot spots.
flat white paint, reflective mylar, white plastic... use it, get it as close to the light and around the area as possible, the closer it is to the light source the more light it will reflect back.
Light Stress training, you can manipulate the growth of the plant to expose as much of the lower growth to light as possible. Methods including Sceen of green. or my recently dubbed "trail of green" where the plant is grown out horizontally, effectively turning every single chute and branch into a huge cola.
all of these methods should be applied supplementary to the fundamental tips Video man has stated.
